Peter Crouch questioned over late night visit to airhostess’ flat in Dubai

Facebook London, Mar 28 (ANI): Footballer Peter Crouch was questioned by security in ultra-strict Dubai after he visited an airhostess’ flat in the early hours of morning.

Crouch, 30, had signed in as a visitor at the plush Millennium Tower skyscraper where he had arrived with Suzanne Thunestveit, 22, following a boozy party.

The footballer, whose fiancee Abbey Clancy, 26, gave birth to their daughter Sophia Ruby two weeks ago, was on a team-bonding break in Dubai with his club Spurs.

He and Norwegian Thunestveit went to the Tower, which houses 1,000 Emirates airline staff, after a nightclub party in which he and teammates spent 60,000 pounds on drinks.

But he left just ten minutes later after the head of security at the complex questioned him over his visit.

A British Emirates air stewardess told pals on Facebook she gave Crouch a dressing down after spotting him at the Tower and took a photo of him as evidence. She also claimed the striker had signed in using a false name.

“Don’t worry, I told him!” the Sun quoted her as writing.

The Tower’s handwritten log shows Crouch had initially signed in as “Peter Johnson” - but the surname was crossed out and replaced with his real name.

He was logged as a guest of “Susie” - though the number of her 11th-floor apartment was similarly entered correctly only after another had been crossed out.

His arrival was filmed on CCTV on February 27, as model Clancy was preparing to give birth back home.

A staff member at the Tower said an inquiry into what went on had been ordered.

Unmarried foreign couples face harsh penalties if caught “sharing private space”, which can include flats, hotel rooms or even cars. Apartment blocks keep visitors’ books to ensure the code is not breached.

There is no suggestion Crouch was involved in any improper conduct with Thunestveit, who claimed she merely wanted to collect something from her flat.

She told security staff she did not try to sneak Crouch in and pointed out the log shows his visit was for ten minutes only, and that he was “just a friend” mutual pals had introduced her to. (ANI)
